Cycle Time/High-speed Processing Section 6-1
6-1 Cycle Time/High-speed Processing
The following functions are described in this section
• Minimum cycle time function
• Maximum cycle time function (watch cycle time)
• Cycle time monitoring
• Quick-response inputs
• Interrupt functions
• I/O refreshing methods
• Disabling Special I/O Unit cyclic refreshing
• Improving the refresh response for data links and other CPU Bus Unit
data (CS1-H, CJ1-H, or CJ1M CPU Units only)
• Reducing fluctuation in the cycle time through background execution of
data manipulations (CS1-H, CJ1-H, or CJ1M CPU Units only)
6-1-1 Minimum Cycle Time
A minimum (or fixed) cycle time can be set in CS/CJ-series PLCs. (See note.)
Variations in I/O response times can be eliminated by repeating the program
with a fixed cycle time.
Note The cycle time can also be fixed for CS1-H, CJ1-H, or CJ1M CPU
Units by using a Parallel Processing Mode.
The minimum cycle time (1 to 32,000 ms) is specified in the PLC Setup in1-
ms units.
If the actual cycle time is longer than the minimum cycle time, the minimum
cycle time function will be ineffective and the cycle time will vary from cycle to
cycle.
